I just got the 5 wizard deal and got 3 supersofts (lame since I requested no supersofts ) but I also got 2 med S wizards...the thing is...the plastic feels A LOT like the supersoft plastic...and nothing like my 2 other med S platic wizards. All I can say is this run of S plastic wizards is slick / rubbery and not nearly as nice as the old plastic coming off the hand...its stiffer too and the bead has a thin strip of excess plastic going all the way around it presumably from the mold.
